Isikolo sokuqala seminyaka emine sonyango lwezilwanyana e-Utah sifumene ileta yesiqinisekiso esivela kwingcali yaseMelikaUgqirha wezilwanyanaIKomiti yeMfundo yoMbutho wezonyango kwinyanga ephelileyo.
IYunivesithi yase-Utah (USU) Ikholeji yaseAmayeza ezilwanyanaIfumene isiqinisekiso kwiKomiti ye-American Veterinary Medical Association on Education (AVMA COE) sokuba iza kufumana imvume yexeshana ngoMatshi 2025, nto leyo ephawula inyathelo elikhulu lokuba yinkqubo ephambili yeminyaka emine yesidanga sezilwanyana e-Utah.
“Ukufumana iLeta yoQinisekiso oluQhelekileyo kusivulela indlela yokuba sizalisekise ukuzibophelela kwethu ekuphuhliseni oogqirha bezilwanyana ababalaseleyo abangagcini nje ngokuba ngoogqirha abanamava, kodwa nabanobuchule abanovelwano abakulungeleyo ukujongana nemiba yempilo yezilwanyana ngokuzithemba nangobuchule,” utshilo uDirk VanderWaal, DVM, kwingxelo yeendaba evela kumbutho. 1
Ukwamkela le leta kuthetha ukuba inkqubo ye-USU ngoku isendleleni yokuhlangabezana neemfuno ezili-11 zokuvunywa, umgangatho ophezulu wokuphumelela kwimfundo yezilwanyana eMelika, uVanderWaal ucacisile kwingxelo. Emva kokuba i-USU ibhengeze ukuba iyifumene le leta, yavula ngokusesikweni izicelo zeklasi yokuqala, kwaye abafundi abavunyiweyo kulindeleke ukuba baqale izifundo zabo ekwindla ka-2025.
Ngokwengxelo yabezindaba, iYunivesithi yaseUtah State ibuyisela le nto ibalulekileyo ku-1907, xa iBhodi yabaLawuli beYunivesithi yaseUtah State (eyayisakuba yiKholeji yezoLimo yaseUtah) yacebisa ingcamango yokudala ikholeji yezonyango zezilwanyana. Nangona kunjalo, le ngcamango yalibaziseka de kwaba ngu-2011, xa iNdlu yoWiso-mthetho yaseUtah State yavota ukuxhasa nokudala inkqubo yemfundo yezilwanyana ngokubambisana neKholeji yezoLimo kunye neSayensi eSebenzisiweyo yeYunivesithi yaseUtah State. Esi sigqibo sika-2011 saphawula ukuqala kobudlelwane neYunivesithi yaseWashington State. Abafundi bezonyango zezilwanyana kwiYunivesithi yaseUtah State bagqiba iminyaka yabo yokuqala emibini yokufunda e-Utah baze emva koko baye ePullman, eWashington, ukuze bagqibe iminyaka yabo yokugqibela emibini baze baphumelele. Ubudlelwane buza kuphela ngokuthweswa isidanga kwiKlasi ka-2028.
“Eli linyathelo elibaluleke kakhulu kwiKholeji yoNyango lweZilwanyana kwiYunivesithi yase-Utah. Ukufikelela kweli nqanaba kubonisa umsebenzi onzima we-faculty yonke kunye nabaphathi beKholeji yoNyango lweZilwanyana, ubunkokeli beYunivesithi yase-Utah, kunye nabathathi-nxaxheba abaninzi kulo lonke ilizwe abaxhase ngenzondelelo ukuvulwa kwekholeji,” utshilo u-Alan L. Smith, MA, Ph.D., umongameli wexeshana weYunivesithi yase-Utah.
Iinkokheli zikarhulumente ziqikelela ukuba ukuvulwa kwesikolo sezilwanyana kuzwelonke kuza kuqeqesha oogqirha bezilwanyana basekuhlaleni, kuncede ekuxhaseni ishishini lezolimo lase-Utah elixabisa i-$1.82 yeebhiliyoni kwaye kuhlangatyezwane neemfuno zabanini bezilwanyana ezincinci kulo lonke ilizwe.
Kwixesha elizayo, iYunivesithi yaseUtah State inethemba lokwandisa ubungakanani beeklasi ukuya kubafundi abangama-80 ngonyaka. Ukwakhiwa kwesakhiwo esitsha sesikolo sezonyango sezilwanyana esixhaswa ngurhulumente, esiyilwe yiVCBO Architecture eseSalt Lake City kunye nekontraka jikelele uJacobson Construction, kulindeleke ukuba sigqitywe ehlotyeni lowama-2026. Amagumbi okufundela amatsha, iilabhoratri, indawo yefakhalthi, kunye neendawo zokufundisa kungekudala ziya kulungele ukwamkela abafundi abatsha kunye neSikolo sezonyango lwezilwanyana kwikhaya laso elitsha elisisigxina.
IYunivesithi yaseUtah State (USU) yenye yezikolo ezininzi zezilwanyana eMelika ezilungiselela ukwamkela abafundi bayo bokuqala, kwaye yenye yezona zokuqala kwilizwe layo. Isikolo saseRowan University saseSchreiber School of Veterinary Medicine eHarrison Township, eNew Jersey, silungiselela ukwamkela abafundi abatsha ekwindla ka-2025, kwaye iHarvey S. Peeler, Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine yaseClemson University, esandula ukuvula ikhaya layo elizayo, iceba ukwamkela abafundi bayo bokuqala ekwindla ka-2026, ngelixa ilinde ukuvunywa yi-American Veterinary Medical Association's Council of Veterinary Schools of Excellence (AVME). Zombini izikolo ziya kuba zezona zikolo zokuqala zezilwanyana kumazwe azo.
Ikholeji yezonyango lwezilwanyana iHarvey S. Peeler, Jr. isanda kubamba umsitho wokutyikitya ukuseka umqadi.
